SALEM — Oregon
lawmakers are working on
legislation that could deter-
mine who can invest in the
state’s new legal recreational
marijuana
market
and
change the way it’s taxed.
A two-year residency
requirement is among the
provisions in the bill a legis-
lative committee considered
at a hearing Wednesday
night. Measure 91, which
voters passed in November,
did not include a residency
requirement for pot busi-
nesses.
The bill would also create
a sales tax on recreational
pot, to replace the weight-
based excise tax the state
would charge growers
under
the
legalization
measure voters approved in
November.
Oregonians age 21 and
older can legally possess
marijuana starting July 1,
although the state currently
does not expect recreational
pot stores to open until
sometime in 2016. Several
members of the marijuana
industry
who
testi¿ed
before the House-Senate
committee working to
implement Measure 91
asked lawmakers to get rid
of the residency requirement
in the bill.
Anthony Johnson, chief
petitioner and co-author of
Measure 91, said marijuana
businesses need to have the
option to raise money from
relatives or other out-of-
state investors. Patrick
Moen, managing director
and general counsel for the
Seattle-based private equity
¿rm Privateer Holdings,
voiced the same concern.
“We know from expe-
rience that cultivating and
distributing
lab-tested,
professionally
packaged
cannabis requires signi¿cant
and ongoing investment to
ensure quality and prevent
diversion to the illicit market
and stop the product from
ending up in the hands of
children,” Moen said in
written testimony submitted
to lawmakers.
Sen. Floyd Prozanski,
D-Eugene, said lawmakers
included the residency

requirement in an effort to
comply with guidance from
federal prosecutors that
states with legal marijuana
must ensure marijuana is not
diverted to the black market
in other states. Prozanski
said it might be possible to
place a sunset on the provi-
sion.
Some members of the
marijuana industry and
medical program card-
holders have opposed bills
to regulate medical mari-
juana and other legislative
proposals, saying they go
against the will of voters
who approved Measure 91.
However Johnson said after
the hearing Wednesday
that he supports changing
the point of taxation from
growers to stores.
“There were policy and
political reasons why it was
at the producer level (in
Measure 91),” Johnson said.
“However, as far as really
the intent of the measure,
and what I think voters and
consumers expect, moving
the tax to the retail level
makes sense.”

Johnson said that a sales
tax would not violate the
intent of voters, so long as
the level of taxation does not
increase.
The legislation lawmakers
considered Wednesday night
would also require recre-
ational marijuana growers,
processors and retailers to be
at least 21 years old. It would
require the Oregon Liquor
Control Commission, which
will regulate recreational
pot, to set up a seed-to-sale
system to track weed and
the recreational marijuana
industry to participate in the
tracking system.
